Chapter 146: Untitled
Hospital. Morning.
Cheng Anya asked the nurse to push her downstairs to take in some fresh air once she woke up. She felt very bored lying on the bed for the whole day. She had been very busy for the past few years and she was already used to such a fast-paced lifestyle. She felt very uncomfortable to be free all of a sudden. It was as if someone had forcefully taken away a part of her life.
The greenery in the courtyard of the hospital was very nice. There were many patients, young and old, there to take a stroll and bask under the sun. It could be seen from their faces that some of them were decadent after being tormented by their illnesses. However, some looked calm and peaceful.
There was a pair of twin boys playing with a small leather ball in the middle of the courtyard that caught the most attention. They looked like they were seven or eight years old, similar to Ning Ning’s age. They were very cute and looked like they were decorated with white powder and carved out of jade. Their actions were not very agile as they had the slowness that was unique to a child. They were blushing due to them running around, and they looked very delicate and extremely cute.
Their mom was standing by the side, smiling as she watched the two children play. She would occasionally remind them to be careful not to fall. The whole courtyard was filled with peals of angelic laughter, sweeping away the dullness of the hospital.
There were also a number of elderly exercising under the trees, and another few that were interested in watching the children play.
“What kind of illness do they have?” Cheng Anya asked their mom out of curiosity. Their mom was very young. She was a little more than thirty years old and was very good at maintaining herself. She seemed a little tired, but it did not affect her beauty at all.
“Congenital diabetes!” The lady smiled with sorrow and comfort. She pitied both her sons for having such a hereditary illness that was difficult to cure. However, she was comforted as they were both alive and living healthily.
This was the best gift that God had given her!
Cheng Anya was shocked because they looked very healthy. They did not look like children who were sick. They were so lively and cute. Although their actions were a little slow, there was not much difference compared to a normal child.
There was no complete cure for type 1 diabetes. They could only survive by injecting insulin into their bodies and they had to rely on medications for their whole life.
“I’m sorry!” Cheng Anya apologized. She had no intention of mentioning the lady’s grief. She thought that the two children had recovered and were staying in the hospital temporarily for observations. She did not expect it to be…
The lady shook her head and smiled. “It’s okay. Although they are sick and it cannot be cured, they can still grow up peacefully if I take good care of them. The medical skills nowadays are so advanced. Who knows? My children might have a chance to be cured a few years later. As long as we don’t give up, I’m sure there is hope!”
The lady was very strong and optimistic. She was smiling all the while and looked at her children in a tender loving manner. It was as if they were her only focus, everything that she wanted to protect forever.
She was very beautiful like this!
Cheng Anya also smiled as she looked at the children. They were lucky… No, she should not have said that they were lucky. Any mother in this world would be strong when faced with such a situation. They would always believe that their children would get better someday.
They could only survive and continue to live if they thought like this!
“What about you? What happened?” The lady looked back and asked in a concerned manner.
Cheng Anya shrugged her shoulders. “I met with a car accident, but luckily, my legs were saved. I have to be in a wheelchair for two months. Thinking about it makes me annoyed.”
But, she was already very lucky, wasn’t she?
She heard that the hospital and prison were the two places that could inspire people the most. Was it really true? Earlier on, she wished she could tear away Ye Yutang’s skin. Indeed, she only knew how lucky she was after comparing her circumstances with others’ predicaments.
“Aiya, you are so lucky. You are still very young. It would be a pity if you lost both your legs.” The lady gave Cheng Anya her blessings sincerely.
“Do you know? I have a son too. He is around the same age as your sons!” Cheng Anya blinked her eyes and said wittily. “My son is very cute too and he looked very beautiful, just like your sons.”
The lady was shocked and looked at Cheng Anya in disbelief. “Are you serious? You look so young. Why do you have such a big son?”
Indeed, Cheng Anya looked like she was still a university student.
If she had tied a ponytail and carried a backpack to a high school, people would have thought that she was a high school student. She looked very young, mainly because she looked very bright and beautiful.
Cheng Anya hid her smile in embarrassment. She replied jokingly and wittily, “I am a bad girl that was pregnant and gave birth at a young age.”
The lady smiled and raised her eyebrows. “Bad girl? You do not look like one.”
The two mommies were chatting enthusiastically as they had a common topic of talking about their children. They could not stop talking about the interesting things that happened to their sons since they were born. Cheng Anya thought that the lady must have more sad stories than interesting ones as her sons had type 1 diabetes.
Who knew that the lady did not mention any sad stories and only talked about the interesting stories that happened to her sons. Cheng Anya felt very happy listening to her.
Cheng Anya really liked to communicate with such a lady. She was strong, optimistic, had a good personality and a good upbringing.
They two young mothers clicked very well and talked for more than one hour. They only stopped when the two children were tired and the lady had to bring them back to rest. The two children’s mouths were so sweet as if they were filled with honey. They called Cheng Anya ‘sister’ when they bid goodbye to her!
It made Cheng Anya very happy. The children addressing her as ‘sister’ even though she already had a seven-year-old son made her feel very proud. She did not think that it was because she looked too young.
She walked around the courtyard on her own before asking the nurse to push her back to her ward.
It was a happy day!
Once she went back to her room, her happiness disappeared. An uninvited guest had appeared in her room.
Since it was an uninvited guest, it meant that the person came without being invited.
It was someone she really did not want to meet.
Yun Ruoxi!
Ye Chen’s girlfriend!
“Miss Cheng! I shall go out first!” The nurse went out of the room and Cheng Anya moved around, pushing the wheelchair by herself, and smiled. “Miss Yun, it is so rare to meet you!”
Yun Ruoxi’s complexion was very bad. She was pale and had no trace of blood on her face. She was still wearing the pale yellow dress that she wore yesterday. She gave people a feeling that she was a yellow rose with no luster.
Cheng Anya did not have to think and she was sure that Yun Ruoxi knew what had happened!
Did she find out because Ye Chen was too high-profile, or did she find out by herself coincidentally?
Cheng Anya guessed it was the latter. Usually, a cat that stole a fish would wipe its mouth. Why would they be so stupid as to leave behind evidence, and even run to others and show off?
“Cheng Anya, what is your relationship with Ye Chen?” Yun Ruoxi gritted her teeth and asked. Yun Ruoxi had cried before and her eyes were bloodshot. She lost her usual gentleness and looked gloomy.
“We are just superior and subordinate!” Cheng Anya answered with a smile. Yun Ruoxi had chosen the wrong person to pick a fight with!
“You’re lying!” Yun Ruoxi was a little agitated. Her hands trembled as she pointed at Cheng Anya. “Which superior would have a child with their subordinate? You obviously… What is your motive in getting near Ye Chen?”
Cheng Anya was still smiling. She should have torn away Ye Yutang’s skin as he had broken her legs. Someone had come to pick a fight with her, but Cheng Anya was seated while the other party was standing. Cheng Anya had lost in terms of momentum!
As the saying goes, ‘One could lose to someone, but one could not lose in terms of momentum’. What would she do if she had lost in terms of momentum?
